Basildon Parks & Open Spaces
During the 1950s as development of the new town got under way, many hundreds of acres were set aside to create parks and recreation grounds.

Basildon's main park, Gloucester Park was officially opened in 1957 and since then many others have followed including Northlands, Mopsies, Markhams Chase and the 125 acre Wat Tyler Country Park in Pitsea Hall Lane, Pitsea.
